Chin Implant/lipo 7th Day Yellow Discharge from Drainage Tube - No Pain and No Smell? (photo)

KhoriMay 16, 2013
Doctor has been watching my husband everyday, giving him antibiotics. No smell or pus (thickness) from discharge, just yellow/red and no pain. The photo is after 4 hours from the drain. I read from this site that doctors like to take out drain after 10 days. As a head's up, how long is ok for there to be discharge/draining after drain taken out? Is yellow color common or a concern?

The pocket is usually made under a thin but strong membrane called the periosteum with the pocket made to the exact size. The pocket then shrinks down around the implant to hold if firmly in place and it will feel just like your chin - you will not be able to wiggle it. A a screw is not usually...
